Yes, Andrea, all the time by people obsessed with linen backing and the dealers
associated with a linen backer and/or their business.
Some of these folk would linen back you, if you stood still long enough!
The most absurd linen backing a DS poster I have seen was the person who paid a
significant amount for a ZULU DS one sheet, which along with the DS one sheets
for ONE EYED JACKS and BaT, is perhaps the earliest example of modern era DS
posters, and then promptly had it linen backed to fix up the "flaws" which
consisted of a few pinholes and a bit of corner wear.
Of course, this rendered the very thing that made the poster special -
unspecial.
I know of no other area of poster collecting that has the obsession by some
collectors for "cosmetic perfection".

No way, who on earth would linen back a DS? Is that actually done?

Bruce's auction today contains a textbook example of how insane the whole
linen-backing craze became in recent years. Why would anybody pay to linen-back
a 2006 movie poster? And then do a poor job of it?

... and I'm not even going to go into the question of why there are
already 10 bids on this offense to nature which have pushed it up to $39 with 3
hours still to go...
